Engineer-Led Point Cloud to CAD Services Across Australia
At Hamilton By Design, we deliver engineering-grade point cloud to CAD services in Australia, purpose-built for industrial, mining, and complex mechanical environments.
We are not a visualisation or real estate scanning company.
We are a structural mechanical engineering-led organisation, using high-accuracy LiDAR scanning to support real-world design, fabrication, and construction outcomes.
What We Do
We provide a complete workflow from point cloud scanning through to engineered deliverables, including:
- Point cloud scanning services (LiDAR reality capture)
- Point cloud to CAD conversion (2D & 3D)
- Point cloud drafting services for fabrication and construction
- Scan to BIM services for buildings and infrastructure
- Mechanical and structural engineering integration
Our focus is simple:
👉 Capture accurately. Model correctly. Design with confidence.
Point Cloud Scanning Service (Engineering Grade)
Our scanning services are built around engineering accuracy, not visual output.
Using high-precision LiDAR systems, we capture:
- Industrial plants and processing facilities
- Conveyor systems, chutes, and transfer stations
- Structural steel and platforms
- Pipework and mechanical systems
- Existing buildings and infrastructure
Unlike low-cost scanning providers, we scan with design intent in mind — ensuring the data can be used for:
- Fabrication fit-up
- Brownfield upgrades
- Shutdown planning
- Engineering verification
Point Cloud to CAD Australia
We convert raw point cloud data into usable engineering models and drawings, including:
- 3D CAD models (SolidWorks-based workflows)
- 2D AutoCAD drawings (plans, sections, elevations)
- General Arrangement (GA) drawings
- Fabrication-ready outputs
Our models are developed to support:
- Clash detection
- Design validation
- Accurate measurement and geometry extraction
- Integration into existing engineering workflows
Point Cloud Drafting Services
Our drafting services go beyond simple tracing.
We deliver engineering-controlled documentation, including:
- Revision-controlled drawings (IFR / IFA / IFC)
- Structured layouts driven from 3D models
- Consistent drawing standards aligned with Australian practice
- Clear geometry for fabrication and installation
This ensures your drawings are not just “drawn” — they are buildable.
Scan to BIM Services
For building and infrastructure projects, we offer Scan to BIM services tailored for:
- Commercial buildings
- Government assets
- Industrial facilities
- Upgrade and refurbishment projects
We create intelligent BIM models that support:
- Asset management
- Design coordination
- Construction planning
- Lifecycle management
Structural Mechanical Engineer-Led Approach
This is where Hamilton By Design is different.
We are not technicians capturing data.
We are engineers solving problems.
Our team understands:
- Load paths and structural behaviour
- Mechanical fit-up and tolerances
- Fabrication constraints
- Installation sequencing
- Australian Standards and compliance requirements
This means:
👉 We scan with purpose
👉 We model with intent
👉 We design for reality
Why Engineer-Led Scanning Matters
Low-cost scanning often leads to:
- Incomplete data
- Poor alignment
- Unusable geometry
- Costly rework during fabrication
Our approach eliminates that risk.
We provide:
- Engineering-grade accuracy
- Clear, structured deliverables
- Confidence in fit and function
Because at the end of the day:
👉 If it doesn’t fit — it doesn’t matter how cheap the scan was.
